7/30 Mariners (Miley) @ Cubs (Arrieta) 1:20 CSN

[CoolHandLuke]

Chapman first please

 

For real. Pretty disappointed at Maddon not using Chapman more creatively.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Jake looks like something will die when he gets back to the clubhouse

 

Perhaps his chance at a win?

[BigSlick]

Hector, you made that throw to first much more of an adventure than it needed to be

[Tryptamine]

and this very situation is why chapman should have come in, absolutely must have a K here

[Fro]

Chapman first please

 

For real. Pretty disappointed at Maddon not using Chapman more creatively.

 

I assume Rondon was the one warmed up already.

[Little Slide Rooter]

With 2 on and 0 out, I'd go with Chapman and give Rondon the 9th.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Surprised they didn't put Riz in on defense.

[CoolHandLuke]

They should have both been warmed up.

[Schwarber Fan]

Man, this should have absolutely been Chapman's spot. Damn.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

and this very situation is why chapman should have come in, absolutely must have a K here

 

I'd be fine with it for the platoon advantage, but Rondon v. Chapman's K% isn't much of a gap.

[UMFan83]

They really should have used Chapman here. 2 of the first 3 hitters are left handed. Even if the PH is righty he's probably bunting and good luck bunting with 102 MPH fastball.

 

Rondon is noticeably worse against lefties (although still pretty good)

[BigSlick]

OH man, so many plays at the plate

 

That one I think is conclusive though

[UMFan83]

He's safe

 

Wait nm I'm a moron

This is crazy.

[Schwarber Fan]

Unreal. Well this game is the poster child for getting rid of challenges.

[BigSlick]

I am having so much whiplash from all these reviews that I think I want replay banned again

[Irrelevant Dude]

I know, most people will disagree, but replay takes away my enjoyment of the individual moments in a game.

With a scrappy guy like Aoki though, I like Chapman's chances better.

[BigSlick]

Can we also eject the Mariners manager for being annoying

[stitchface]

I think he wants chapman for Cano in the 9th. 5 outs may be a big ask.

[stitchface]

haha - home plate ump looked visibly relieved.

[UMFan83]

Feel bad for Rondon a little

[CoolHandLuke]

Joe must not want Chapman to go more than 1.1 innings, otherwise he'd have surely used him for Aoki for the platoon advantage, right?

[stitchface]

now I don't get it. unless he wanted to boost rondon's confidence - or just thought with Aoki it didn't matter.

[BigSlick]

Feel bad for Rondon a little

I was gonna post this exact thing. He deserves better than to be a 2 out guy, but well, if you got a crazy good reliever to be your fireman, thats fine too.

 

I hope he's taking it well.
